Smackdown Results from Jacksonville, FL:

Kane arrived out to the ring to start the show off. Grisham and Striker said that Smackdown arrives on the heels of one of the most controversial Surivor Series PPV's ever. They said the Kane vs Edge match has so many talking points.

Kane talked in the ring about Edge taking away the one thing that means anything to him, Paul Bearer. He talked about all the mind games and Edge trying to lure him into a trap. Kane said despite all Edge's games, he is still the World Champion now. Kane asked Edge to come out and explain himself. Kane said he's not a monster, and that he's a human being with feelings. Kane said he wants to spend the holidays with his family just like everyone else.

As Kane kept going on and on, finally Edge's theme music started up. Edge came to the stage wheeling a wheelchair. Edge said Paul Bearer is there tonight and all Kane has to do is ask, politely. Kane asked once but in a yelling voice, so Edge told him to try again. Edge told Kane to use the magic word, "please." Kane did so, but Edge said it wasn't a proper please, so Kane said it again. The crowd chanted "On your knees," and Kane finally asked in a softer voice. Edge called it insincere and said Kane didn't mean it, then went backstage.

Kane was backstage with Smackdown GM Theodore Long whom he apologized to for intimidating last week, then said surely Teddy was close to his father. Teddy said he never really knew his dad but it didn't stop him from being who he is, reaching for the stars. Just then, Edge appeared on the TV monitor in the room. He told Kane from the smell of things, mother nature is calling for Paul Bearer. He told Kane they're over near the cotton candy stand if he wants to join them. Edge pulled the tape off Bearer's mouth and he started screaming that Edge and all the people in the arena didn't deserve to have fathers. Edge put the tape back on and wheeled Bearer to the nearby restroom. Kane stormed off to go look for them.

Smackdown returned with Kane in the same area of the arena that Edge was with Bearer at. He yelled Paul a few times then tore open the bathroom door to find an empty wheelchair with a "Gone Fishin" sign on the wall. Striker and Cole talked about how unhinged Kane is becoming over all this.

Josh Matthews was backstage with Alberto Del Rio.

He called Kane to come out see them, then had Bearer scream for Kane. Kane arrived out to the stage and called Edge a bunch of names including a "monster." Edge said it sounds like he's describing himself for all he's done over the years. Edge said he would ask the people what should happen to Paul Bearer. He asked if he should give Bearer back to Kane, or shove Bearer down the stairs. The fans rooted for the latter.

Hornswoggle was shown sitting at a table dressed as a pilgrim ready for a Thanksgiving meal. Rosa Mendes brought a platter over and lifted the lid but she had burnt the turkey.
